My Accidental Husband Is My Revenge Partner - Chapter 150

Chapter 150: Selene Jones!!
Winter twirled the drink in her glass one last time, staring as the blood in Michelle’s body drain.

Taking the final sip of her champagne, winter added, “I hope you win so that you can get to be on the big stage.” Then she walked away without giving Michelle any meaning to her words.

Michelle stared at Winter’s back, wondering what she meant. Rubbing her forehead she didn’t notice was glistening with sweat, Michelle glared at winter before leaving that corner.

When Kael saw Selene, he was about to go greet her, but immediately stopped in his tracks when he saw the person seated beside her. Kael glared at Xavier, while the latter stared at him unfazed.

Selene darted her eyes between both men. She made a mental note to ask them what happened between them. The hostility was too much to turn a blind eye to.

All of a sudden the lights turned off, signaling the start of the award show.

The graphics on the enormous screen began by welcoming everyone in attendance, including those watching live as the show was being recorded.

The awards were presented and the MC names were listed with the people who had sponsored the award show.

After the introduction, the award show began.

Martha, the MC started;

“Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. We’re here to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Radiantia’s award show. But tonight’s festivities won’t end there. As time has passed, we’ve introduced new categories to give actors and actresses more opportunities to win awards. So, are you ready to see your favorites take the stage and collect their awards?” she asked, and the crowd erupted in enthusiastic cheers of “YES.”

The fans, seated in a separate section from the celebrities, nearly caused the enormous hall to shake with their thunderous response.

When the loud noise died down, Martha’s fellow MC continued, “I can see everyone is super excited for this award show. Well then, let’s begin with the first category; Newbie Actor Debut.”

The graphics on the massive screen shifted as an artificial intelligence voice announced the names of the men who had made their debut. Among them was Kael Clark.

“And the winner is…” Martha drawled, pausing for dramatic effect before announcing, “Kael Clark!”

Everyone cheered for Kael as he walked up to the stage, collected his award, and made his speech.

One by one, the categories were announced, with winners coming up on stage to collect their awards and deliver their speeches. Liam received his Best Actor award for the sixth consecutive year, a result that surprised no one given his continued reign as the King of the entertainment world.

Some musicians were invited to perform during mid-breaks, making the award show look more lively than it already did.

“And now, we are down to our final category; best actress of the year,” said Martha.

“The competition in this category is pretty tough, don’t you think Martha?” The second MC asked Martha who nodded immediately.

“It’s between a favored actress who’d won for three years in a row, a newbie who debuted less than two years ago, and another actress who revived her acting career after a huge scandal,” Martha mentioned, leaving their names behind since the crowd already guessed which definition belonged to which actress.

Flipping the card open, she made a slightly impressed face. “And the award goes to….”

Selene placed her hand on her chest, feeling her heart nearly escape from her chest. She felt Xavier place his hand on hers as he gave her a reassuring smile. She returned it but her heart continued to beat wildly.

A smirk was on Michelle’s lips as she waited for Martha to say her name. She glanced at where Selene was seated, together with Xavier with disdain.

‘You might have collected my man from me, but you certainly won’t be taking my award. You are nothing, Selene Jones!’ She thought to herself, adjusting her dress as she readied herself to walk on stage.

Meanwhile, Winter, who was seated right behind Michelle, waited for Michelle’s name to be called.

The silence became too loud to bear. There had not been this much tension when the other winners were called. A weight of anticipation hung in the air, as everyone waited for Martha to complete her sentence.

“Selene Jones!!” She finished. Loud cheers and clapping accompanied her voice.

Selene stared at Martha who gave her a warm smile, her hands together as she clapped for her. She felt Xavier’s hands squeeze hers, drawing her back to reality. She’d thought she heard the wrong name, but that was indeed her name that had just been called out as the winner of the best actress category.

‘What just happened?’ She wondered.

“Go collect your award, my love,” Xavier whispered in her ears, putting his hands together as he joined the crowd, clapping for her.

Selene stood up and pushed her legs to walk towards the stage. Martha gave a tight hug.

“Congrats girl, I’m proud of you,” she whispered to Selene.

Selene mouthed thank you after they pulled away from each other.

Selene held the trophy in her hands, feeling the weight of her success on them. She finally made it. She beat Michelle in everything, and she has made her name.

She grabbed the mic to say a speech she hadn’t prepared for at all.

“Good evening, everyone,” Selene said, her tone soft but amplified clearly through the mic. “I want to thank you all for this award; I never imagined I’d win. Martha, Liam, and especially Xavier, thank you for believing in me. And a huge thank you to my fans for your support. I love you all so much.”

As soon as the last word left her mouth, the crowd erupted in a loud cheer as beautiful flowers were thrown on the stage for her.

But someone in the crowd wasn’t happy about the fact that she got the award.

Out of spite, Michael stood up and yelled, “That’s impossible. Selene slept her way to the top!!”
